Ceschi / Factor / AJ Suede / Esh & The Isolations

6:30PM / 3 Full Hip Hop Acts

$15/20 

An engaging, theatrical live performer, Ceschi Ramos has treated entire venues like a stage,

viewing the middle of the audience or an empty barstool as good a place as any to perform a

soul-baring folk song or tongue-twisting rap track.

He knows what it is to suffer for his art and is aware that music exploring the ugliness and

sorrow of the human condition will always exist on the fringes of a game dominated by

disposable escapism and expensive publicists. Yet he still pours everything he has into his craft,

and on any given night you can find him tracking vocals at his cousin’s New Haven studio,

warmly greeting fans and friends at a dive bar merch booth or rapping double-time in Japan or

Europe for audiences that often don’t speak his language, but are able to see the giant heart at

the core of it all.

He has been in bands described as hardcore, crunk rap, lo-fi synth pop, Latin progressive and

psych-jazz-rap. He has crafted abstracted and personal narratives mining the depths of

depression and heights of hope. He has slept on countless floors when hotels weren’t in the

touring budget and lost girlfriends and jobs all for the love of creating and performing.

Ceschi was born with four fingers on his right hand, which served as partial inspiration for the

name of his DIY record label, Fake Four, Inc. Those who have worked with him describe Ceschi

as one of the most artist-friendly labelheads out there, a rare breed who values art over profit

almost to a fault
